MRI Cervical Spine

by Sabercrombie, May 01, 2007 12:00AM
skip all the stuff, I had an MRI done and the results came back as "Left paracentral protrustion at C4-5 is effacing the ventral cervical cord.  Residual AP diameter at this level is 8.3mm."  I do have an appt. to see an Ortho, but I just wanted to know what to expect when I get there. I have never seen this dr. before.

being an mri tech sounds like you may some type of intervetion.  May physical thearpy can help get the disc back in it's space.  Depending on the severity of lyour symptons it may are may not need some type of surgery.  Basically your bones sits on little pads called disc spaces when one of those slips out in the spinal canal you have some numbess to one arn or maybe both.  I would talk to your dr. though
